KUANTAN: The Pahang arm of the Malaysia Youth Council (MBM), together with eight other non-governmental organisations (NGO) have lodged police reports over Pokok Sena member of parliament Datuk Mahfuz Omar's alleged insult of Sultan of Pahang, Sultan Ahmad Shah.

Pahang MBM chairman Wan Emril Nizam Wan Embong labelled Mahfuz's action as shocking and unacceptable in light of his long experience in politics in Malaysia.

"His action is insolent and disrespectful towards the country's royal institution. It clearly shows that Mahfuz is an egotistical person and a politician who lacks maturity.

"His act of comparing the (health) condition of the Sultan of Pahang, Sultan Ahmad Shah with Pakatan Harapan chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is a most unwise one.

"This is because his Highness' (Sultan Ahmad Shah) position lies beyond the political system of the country, in contrast to Dr Mahathir being a part of politics and having nothing to do with the royal institution," he said.

He was speaking to the media after lodging a police report, together with other NGOs, at the district police station here today.
